Half of that must be in direct monetary donations, whereas the other half can be in flexible giving like in-kind donations, employee volunteer time, and 1% for the Planet advertising.

It's intuitive and easy to understand, it works well, and is simple to get up and running. The team that built it clearly knew a lot about managing knowledge and I go to their website for recommendations and best practices. Their customer support is extremely knowledgeable and responsive.

Verified User in Higher Education

KnowledgeOwl has incredible customer service! Not only is their response time incredible, but their overall mentality towards service is what truly stands out. When I reach out to them I don't feel like my request is a ticket waiting to be worked - I know they have read my emails & are replying to me specifically (vs an auto reply) with knowledgeable responses. They make doing business so easy! (& enjoyable!)

Jessica Howard

Intuitive, smart, easy to use and the most positive, responsive, and caring Customer Support team on the planet!

Jennifer Alford

I've managed help centers on Zendesk, Help Scout, and KnowledgeOwl. KnowledgeOwl is the easiest and most comfortable to use by far. Even with my limited code knowledge, I've been able to evolve my info architecture without breaking links, add collapsing sections to break up long topics, and install custom headers to set certain articles apart.

Diane Gilleland

The user interface to create articles is very easy to use and straightforward. It is also very customizable with CSS. So we can brand it to match our style. Not to mention the customer service is top notch. They take it to the next level!

Jacquie Witte

Right out of the gate, let me say that if you are looking for an efficient, reliable, and intuitive knowledge base software, look no further! KnowledgeOwl changed the game for us when we switched to them 7 years ago, and it keeps making my job easier with their frequently released enhancements and exceptional support…
